@48alfaone Curly ran and walked that way because when he was 9 he accidently shot hisself in the foot. He was afraid to go the doctor to have it fixed so he let it heal on it's own causing a permanant limp.
@DanielKnyphausen. Yeah, you had polio, and you had rampage bigotry, and the government was so corrupt they didn't have to explain atom bombs, and wars.
@DanielKnyphausen that's a polite way to view the times. At the time, economy was in the ruts, jobs were hard to find, gangsters appeared and organized crime became what it is today. If you were a minority, you were likely to be screwed over by society, blacks more so. On the other hand, society was indeed less vulger and more social, idiot celebrities did not have a bigger influence then your kids, and Taxes were hardly noticable unlike today.
@DanielKnyphausen True but then we would have to watch the stooges on the big screen and only one at a time. Not like now when I can access any episode, anytime, and anywhere.
@DanielKnyphausen Your government 'protected' you ?? Federal Reserve Act. Americans sold into perpetual slaver, a debt from which they can never escape. Check it out.
@DanielKnyphausen You also didn't have the medical miracles we have today, or the labor-saving devices we now use (important ones, I mean), among other things. Don't take for granted the more "complex" times.
I wouldn't say it was more simple, but I know what you mean by the point of back in the days when people had a real imagination. Men sure weren't afraid to work, and women knew how to cook from scratch and sew their own clothes.
@DanielKnyphausen (sigh) I know what you mean! I wish things were more like that now, I feel so crowded with all this technology. Sure its great to get the job done but people don't interact anymore.
I Love how the "Colorization" Process has come so far that you can't even tell this was originally in B/W. Unlike the early colorized stuff. I can't watch these in B/W anymore!

I miss the.. simplicity of that time. You didn't have a microwave - all your food was fresh bought at the market, and prepared by hand.
You didn't have a TV (in nearly ALL cases) - you had a radio, cards, stickball, boardgames and your imagination.
You didn't worry that the government was going to take your rights away, you looked up to the government because it protected you.
You didn't have technology of convenience, you had the movie theatre, plays, and friends.
Simpler times...
